An elderlywoman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full ofmoney. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talkingto the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot ofmoney.

After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client isalways right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president'soffice.

The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted todeposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, '$165,000'.The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to saveso much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets.

The president was surprised and asked, 'What kind of bets?'

The elderly woman replied, 'Well, I bet you $25,000 thatyour testicles are square.'

The pr esident started to laugh and told the woman that itwas impossible to win a bet like that.

The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at thepresident and said, 'Would you like to take my bet?'

'Certainly', replied the president. 'I bet you $25,000 thatmy testicles are not square.'

'Done', the elderly woman answered. 'But given the amountof money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10o' clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness.' 'No problem',said the president of the Bank confidently.

That night, the president became very nervous about the betand spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles,turning them this way and that, checking them over again and againuntil he was positive that no one could consider his testicles assquare and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose thebet.

The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly womanarrived at the president's offic e with her lawyer and acknowledgedthe $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicleswere square.

The president confirmed that the bet was the same as theone made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop hispants etc. So that she and her lawyer could see clearly.

The president was happy to oblige.

The elderly woman came closer so she could see better andasked the president if she could touch them. 'Of course', said thepresident. 'Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100%sure.'

The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly thepresident noticed that the lawyer was banging his head a gainst thewall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and shereplied, 'Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of thePresident of the Bank of Canada !'

I've seen this before, but it always makes me chuckle just imagining a little old lady pulling this on a bank president.

I made a bet like that once in high school for some lunch money! I bet a guy that if I lay a pencil down on the floor, he wouldn't be able to step over it- he took the bet! I walked over to two adjoining walls, laid the pencil down in the corner, touching both walls- he realized he lost and gave me the money!
